SWANSEA CITY chiefs have given Kenny Jackett the so-called dreaded vote of confidence... after just four League matches.

Swans chairman Huw Jenkins insists there is no reason to panic, despite a run of results which has seen Jackett's team lose to Lincoln, Hull, Bristol Rovers and Northampton.

The new Swans manager also had the embarrassment of seeing his side lose to Rhyl in the FAW Premier Cup.

But Jenkins insists he is not worried by the alarming slump in form and maintained next season is the time for the fans to judge Jackett.

"In anything you do, everybody wants to have something to aim for," said Jenkins. "And because we are in mid-table with no chance of going up and no chance of going down, the players haven't got that at the moment.

"I think that is why the results haven't been great and therefore it is not worth panicking. I say roll on next year when we will have something to play for again. Let's see what signings we can make in the summer and start judging things as we move on next year."

Jenkins went on, "Some might say our players should be motivated by the need to impress the new manager.

"But a lot of them are under contract anyway and some of those who aren't have accepted already that they are not going to be given new deals."

He insisted, "There has been an improvement in the last two home games. We seem a bit fitter and a bit quicker in what we do, which hasn't been reflected in the results. The sooner this season ends and Kenny has the chance to change things around, the better."
